Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a type of hound originating in Germany and are one of the oldest dog breeds, tracing its ancestry back to the 15th Century. This hardy breed of canine is usually classed as a member of the hound family, though this designation varies depending on the authority from which you source the information. Dachshunds are most easily identified by their long, low body type and short legs which make them very recognizable as a breed. They come in wire-haired, long-haired and short-haired varieties, all with very distinctive personalities.
While no breed of dog can be considered 100% hypoallergenic, Dachshunds are generally considered to be a better choice for those who suffer from allergies than many other breeds. This is because their short and smooth coat tends to generate less dander and less shedding, which in turn reduces the number of allergens that are floating in the air. Plus, Dachshunds typically have a lower odor than other breeds, and their grooming needs are relatively compact.
Yes, Dachshunds have some specific dietary needs. It is important to feed them a diet that is specifically formulated for small breed dogs, as their small size and short legs demand a nutrient-rich diet that is easy to digest, so that energy can be efficiently transferred to fuel all their athletic feats. It is also important to ensure that the food contains enough protein, fat, and fiber so that their traditional strong muscles and bodies can form and stay strong.
To prepare your home for your new Dachshund, it's important to create an environment which is comfortable, safe and enjoys the appropriate amount of attention. Before bringing them home, make sure to pet-proof your home by placing things out of reach or away from curious chewing mouths. Arrange the living space with a comfortable bed, cozy blankets and a toy box so they have plenty to explore. Additionally, select and research a vet to ensure they receive the proper medical attention should any health concerns arise and register with local authorities for the necessary pet licensing.
Dachshunds most commonly come in three different sizes: standard, miniature, and "rabbit". The standard size dachshund is usually 16-32 pounds but can be larger depending on their gender. The standard size is typically 20-28 inches long with a low and long body and proportionally short legs. The miniature size dachshunds are usually 11 pounds or less and typically 8-11 inches long with the same distinctive body shape and short legs as the standard size.
While not all Dachshunds like to swim, there are plenty who enjoy taking a dip in the water. Many Dachshunds have a natural affinity for swimming and are quite capable swimmers. Before you go ahead and take yours into the water, you should acclimate your Dachshund to swimming by introducing them to gradual depth, always using a life jacket for safety.
Dachshunds can get along very well with kids, providing they are socialized from a young age. Many Dachshunds bond very easily and enjoy spending time with children. A well socialized Dachshund will be good-natured and tolerant and will quickly become an integral part of the family. Of course, as with any dog, it is important to remember that supervision is important between any dog and children. With proper care, supervision, and socialization, a Dachshund can be a trustworthy and loving companion to a family with children.
The amount of time you need to train a Dachshund per day really depends on their age and the training goals you have in mind. Generally speaking, it's best to start off slowly with a few minutes of training each day, such as instruction in basic skills like sit, stay, come, and heel. When your pup is comfortable with those commands, you should gradually increase the amount of time to between 15 and 30 minutes per session. As the pup gets more advanced and their skills develop, you may extend the training time sessions.
